While our backgrounds and experiences are diverse, we share a deep commitment to Jesus Christ, to each other, and our neighbors. Watch these stories of faith in the everyday lives of Mormons. You can also meet Mormons here.

Our faith influences nearly every aspect of our lives. Beyond simply believing in Jesus Christ, we try to bring His teachings to life at home, at work and in our communities. Here are a few of the cultural priorities embraced by members of the Church around the world.

We are all spiritual children of a loving
Heavenly Father who sent us to this earth to learn and grow in a mortal state. As Mormons,
we are followers of Jesus Christ. We live our lives
to serve Him and teach of His eternal plan for each of us.

Hi I'm Gaylene

I love my family! They have been what I have focused my life on for the past 32 years. I am a Mormon.

About Me

I am a mother of 5 children. 4 girls and 1 boy. They are the joy of my life. I have enjoyed learning right along with them. Through the expereince of being a parent I have learned to develop many talents that I did not even know I had.
I enjoy finding ways to stretch my budget. I really enjoyed encouraging my family to sew or make inexpensive Birthday and Christmas gifts. They have been quite creative.
I have had the opportunity to teach a Seminary class (Scriptutre study class) every school morning at 6:00 A.M. My faith in my Savior has grown tremendously.
I know that He knows each one of us personally and He does answer prayer.
I am also now a grandmother of 13! I really enjoy being able to be part of these childrens lives.
I am a Mormon!

Why I am a Mormon

I have been a member of the Church since I was 8 years old. When I was 19 I was attending church and the the instructor of the class challenged us to read the entire Book of Mormon. I took that challenge to heart. I not only learned from the stories but I learned the principles of the Gospel taught by Jesus Christ as He visited the Americas shortly after his asscention into Heaven. I also put the challenge given in Moroni 10:3-5 to the test. I have definetly received the answer that the The Book of Mormon is truly scripture and meant for our day to help us give us the stregth to overcome challenges. When we use the stories as examples to help us in our day they truly become strengths.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is on the earth today because a young man sought answers from His Father in Heaven. How grateful I am that Joseph Smith had the courage and strength to do what he did.

How I live my faith

My greatest joy in serving in the Church is seeing the change that comes over a person as they learn and accept the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The joy in their contenance as they learn who they are, where we came from and what our purpose is here on the earth. They also learn where they go after this life and that we can still have an eternal family unit in Heaven. That we will know and love those that we knew and loved here on the earth. Both of my parents have passed away. I look forward to seeing and conversing with them again.

Frequently Asked Questions

-

What are Mormon church services like? Are visitors allowed at church meetings? Can I attend church?

Mormon church services are dignified and simple. A sacrament meeting will be conducted by a regular guy wearing a regular business suit. The organ will be played by a regular member of the congregation who is not paid for his or her service. The singing will be led by a regular member of the congretaion. The prayers will be given by regular folks. The sacrament will be blessed and passed by regular folks, usually teenage boys. The talks will be given by members of the congregation, often teenagers. Special music might be presented by regular folks, or the ward choir. Members of the ward choir are just regular members of the congregation who like to sing, and are not paid for their service. Looking around the congregation, you will most likely see some singles but also families including little children and babies. Babies tend to be fussy so the room will not be totally silent. We try to maintain reverence, but it's a learning process. The kids are not perfectly reverent, and neither are the rest of us. People are dressed in regular clothes, usually conservative and modest. Men and boys usually wear dress shirts and ties. Women and girls usually wear dresses or skirts.
You are welcome to come and attend any of our worship services. You will not be asked to stand and sit, stand and sit, stand and sit. No one will pass a collection plate or ask you for money. You come in and sit and relax. And when you come, please sit by me!

Our fundamental religious service is what we call our Sacrament meeting. Anyone is welcome to join us in Sacrament meeting as well as our other Sunday meetings at any of our buildings. Sacrament is a time when we ponder and reflect on Jesus Christ's atonement for our sins, for He is the path by which we can repent of our wrongdoings and begin anew on a correct path with additional guidance from our Heavenly Father. Furthermore, on Sunday we have general Sunday School meetings where we talk more in-depth about the various doctrine of the gospel as well as meetings where we meet in groups of similarly-aged individuals to learn and discuss gospel topics more focused to each particular age group. We welcome anybody and everybody and would love to see you in our congregation spiritually connecting with your loving Heavenly Father and drawing nearer to him and his son, Jesus Christ.
